Design & Fabrication Of Piping Systems & Code Requirements
Course Description
Compliance with ANSI/API code requirements for design and construction is needed to assure the safety petroleum refinery and chemical plant piping. The designer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, and inspector’s understanding and application of these requirements is essential in producing this desired safety. This course provides a background and ANSI /ASME /API code guidance on design, selection of materials, fabrication, testing and practical methods and trends in piping design and construction. The course will review the basic requirements of the various sections of the ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping with emphasis on B31.1, Power Piping; B31.3, Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping; and the piping portions of ASME Section III, Nuclear Power Plant Components. General topics in the course include pressure design, flow and sizing considerations, flexibility analysis, dead loads, equipment loads, dynamic loads, and sup ports and restraints. Applications of these concepts, including simple hand analysis methods and computer-based analysis methods, will be demonstrated. Examples of the required analysis and sources of further information will be provided. The practical aspects of material selection and fabrication will be considered, including materials for high and low temperature service, cutting, bending, welding processes, heat treatment requirements and nondestructive examination. Code requirements and the practical limitations of each operation will be dis cussed, as well as the economics of material selection and alternate fabrication processes.
